<p class="ydpee385e03yiv2328952043ydpc54d4a6bMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Media technologies for play have become
major industries in Japan and South Korea. Even in North Korea, citizens bypass
the state to enjoy popular culture. At the same time, corporations and
governments encourage people to produce economic values through play.</span></p>
<p class="ydpee385e03yiv2328952043ydpc54d4a6bMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The first comparative study of media
technologies in Japan and the two Koreas, this book illuminates the peculiar
geopolitical relations between the three countries through their development
and use of digital technologies.</span></p>
<p class="ydpee385e03yiv2328952043ydpc54d4a6bMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Anthony Y.H. Fung from Chinese University
of Hong Kong said, “From the political economy of regulations to
representation, identity and labour, this book embraces a multiplicity of
perspectives on the digital economy. The authors deftly explain how new forms
and practices of work and play drive social transformation and create new
cultural landscapes in and beyond Asia.” </span></p>
<p class="ydpee385e03yiv2328952043ydpc54d4a6bMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Drawing from political economy, cultural
studies and technology studies, this book will be essential reading for
researchers and students of media technologies and popular culture in Northeast
Asia.</span></p>
